Once they get it so I can make it work and look like KDE3 and it's faster, then I will re-evaluate it.
They won't. You will be able to do the same things, but it won't look the same.
This might be the key to why some people are having such major issues. They insist on spending huge amounts of time and energy trying to make KDE4 look like KDE3. You can do the same thing with KDE4 as you could with KDE3, but in the KDE4 way... not the KDE3 way (whether that's good or bad is not the point I'm trying ot make here). In most aspects the two are actually quite similar if you stop fighting against it. Yes there are differences, and yes some bits function totally different... and in some places it's still quite broken or missing features... but that's what bug reports are for and that's what Dotan is working hard on here. If you look through the bugs Dotan has raised on the KDE.org Bugzilla... a LOT of them have been worked on... seriously... a lot have been resolved.... things like being able to toggle off desktop switching with the scroll wheel... and so on. It _is_ worth the effort to go in there and vote/comment on the bug reports. The result is that where KDE4 is seriously lacking (and there is no question here that KDE has been and still is seriously lacking in many areas) is being worked on, and it is getting better. KDE4.4 has no comparison to what came before it in terms of usability. It's really improving, and fast. Take the missing metadata thing. The fact it's currently missing does not mean that this is the end of discussion. It's simply *not there yet*. If you need that feature.. comment on the bug report, vote for it. The same applies to all those other missing things we want or need... like different wallpaper per desktop without needing to futz with Activities. The screen hotspots is a setting.. easy to switch off, and something I also turn off - although I've kept it on my netbook since there... it's actually quite useful.
